We had a great stay in Island escape, we ate a mid 50’s couple with a 6 yr old black Labrador. It’s in a great location right near the front of Millport. It’s tastefully decorated, very clean and has everything you need including smart tv, dog towels and bowls, cafetière, washing machine, freezer, lovely Scottish toiletries and a welcome pack with local bread, biscuits and treats as well as milk in the fridge. The bed is so comfortable and the bedding is good quality, Ali is really friendly and helpful so made the process very easy. We will book again for sure

We had a brilliant week here. Millport is great for walking, cycling and even swimming in the sea due to the brilliant weather we had. My wife did park run in Largs - simply pop across as foot passengers. The Wetherspoons & neighbouring fish & chip shop are great. On Cumbrae in Millport the locals in Fraser's bar are very friendly - good food (gammon we had) & beer at very reasonable prices. In the words of Arnie - "I'll be back"
